Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 449 The Instigator

"But, Lailai, how exactly are we going to get down there?"

In the soul space, Ling Yuzi, barely holding back his laughter, asked Xin Lailai.

Long before the war started, she had discussed with Xin Lailai many ways to end the battle between the Performer and the Black Sword. Each way had a different visual effect, and a large number of processes were carefully designed to ensure that people who bought the newspaper would enjoy a sufficiently shocking visual impact.

"Just use the Apollo plan that we originally booked, but you can modify it a little bit. There's no need to use the real Apollo. You can just use fire element spells to simulate some special effects."

Xin Lailai answered quickly in his mind. Ling Yuzi nodded slightly when he heard it. Without any hesitation, he immediately controlled Xin Lailai's body to keep a certain distance from the Dark Steel Mech. At the same time, he waved his arm and began to mobilize the free fire elements in the surrounding area that had become extremely rich due to the previous battle, forming something like a flame in his palm.

Xin Lailai glanced at the control terminal in front of him, and controlled the remaining part of the mecha army that had been deployed in the war with the Scarlet Remnant, and charged directly towards the black-haired young man.

They couldn't take the mechanical army and the curvature engine away from this world, so instead of leaving them there to waste, they might as well let them glow and heat up before leaving, and use them as disposable props in the final performance.

Om-! !

The next second, flames from the explosions of mechas rang out from the sky, blooming from under the scarlet sky like fireworks celebrating the performance.

……

Meanwhile, on the ground.

"That's right, I was just about to say that. Sister Xiaowei, didn't you just say that the performer asked Mr. Cat to sing a tongue twister? So my intuition tells me that he must be the one who got hurt!"

Excited voices rang out from the street. Outside the battlefield, the noble girl who had completely left her own leader aside looked at Sylvie in front of her with admiration and excitedly discussed with him.

"Hehe, that's right~ I also think that a man with a strong masculine temperament like Black Sword is more suitable to be on top~!"

"Hmm... I can't say for sure. I read in a book that sometimes brothers who are not related by blood tend to like..."

boom--! !

The noble girl was muttering, but a huge explosion suddenly came from above, interrupting her unfinished words. A beam of fire fell from the sky like a meteorite, and hit them in front of them with a bang, causing the entire street to tremble violently twice.

"Okay, we've dealt with him. Now, it's your turn."

In the firelight, a figure in a pitch-black windbreaker walked out slowly, crushed the charred arm in his hand, stood in mid-air, glanced at the instigator and his group, and said indifferently:

"Come to think of it, I just heard you guys discussing something very interesting."

The indifferent voice sounded, and the dark pressure descended, causing Sylvie's pupils to shrink slightly, and she subconsciously took two steps back. The noble girl also turned pale, shuddered slightly, and took a few steps back with Sylvie, not daring to continue speaking.

Suddenly, the three people who were originally standing side by side suddenly turned into the instigator who was standing in the front with a sad face. He looked at the two women and the cat who retreated behind him without hesitation, and then looked at the black-haired young man standing in the air in front of him, and said helplessly:
"I say, is it really okay for you to betray me like this? I haven't even had time to complain to you about anything yet."

"There's nothing we can do. Adong, you're the only man among us. In this situation, a weak girl like Xiaoyi and I can only count on you to protect us!"

Sylvie covered her mouth and chuckled, at the same time, she did not forget to cast a wink at the black-haired young man standing in the air.

"Tsk, forget it. In this case, I'll have to go alone."

Upon hearing this, the instigator sighed in annoyance, then looked up at the black-haired young man in front of him, coughed twice, and asked him:
"Ahem, then, I wonder what this wise and powerful Lord Black Sword is planning to do by suddenly coming to us, the weak, pitiful and helpless contractors?"

"Do you need a reason to kill the offenders?"

"No, no, no, how could that be! Just like what you said, Lord Black Sword, violators are extremely evil, no matter how many of them die, it's not enough. How can we possibly object to anything?!"

The instigator waved his hands repeatedly, then rubbed his palms, bent slightly, and said respectfully to the black-haired young man in front of him, with a humble and humble look, like a follower flattering the leader:
"You see, sir, every profession has its own difficulties. We have become lawbreakers just to make a living. There is nothing special about it."

"Really? But what does this have to do with me?"

"Well, ahem, actually we don't have any other intentions. How about Lord Black Sword, you name a small price and treat it as the money for our lives?"

The instigator coughed lightly, a flattering smile appeared on his face, and whispered to the other party:

"Of course, we also know that some things cannot be brought to the table, so we won't force anything. We just want you to take a look at this."

As the instigator spoke, he quietly revealed a small box hidden in his sleeve. The black-haired young man's eyes moved slightly when he saw this, but he did not speak.

The instigator's eyes lit up when he saw this. He coughed twice on purpose, letting the four small boxes hidden in his sleeves fall to the ground. Then he looked around as if no one was around and shouted:
"Hello, is anyone there? Is there anyone here? I accidentally dropped four complete Soul Crystal Secret Boxes here. If any kind-hearted person sees them, can you help me find them?"

"Ah, what a pity, it seems that no one is willing to help. Xiaowei, let's go. I guess we can't find the four soul crystal secret boxes anymore."

After a while, the instigator shook his head and sighed, then turned to look at Sylvie standing behind him, and pretended to wipe away his non-existent tears, while saying to the noble girl beside him:

"By the way, Xiao Jinni, remember to take out the teleportation scroll I gave you. We have to prepare to go back!"

"Okay, Master!"

The noble girl nodded, took out a human skin scroll from her arms, unfolded it, and pointed it at her head.

Om-! !

The next second, a silver-white formation appeared above the few people, and a silver-white beam of light descended, engulfing the figures of the three people and the cat, and disappeared on the spot with them.

The black-haired young man standing aside looked at the scene in front of him and said nothing from beginning to end. He only waited until the few people disappeared completely, then he waved his hand and put the four small boxes on the ground into the storage space.

[Hint: Soul Crystal Secret Box (complete)*4 has been obtained]

……

Hellsing world, somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean.

Bang!
A silver-white light flashed, and on an uninhabited island, the figures of the instigator and his group descended from the sky. Among them, Sylvie, the noble girl, and the white cat that was wrapping the noble girl with its tail all stopped steadily in mid-air before landing. Only the instigator was left, and he hit the ground with a bang.

"Hiss~ Xiaowei, can't you lend a hand? I was bleeding heavily just now."

"Anyway, you won't fall to your death, and those Soul Crystal Secret Boxes were originally obtained by others for you, right?"

Sylvie glanced at the instigator who was unharmed, and a charming smile appeared on her face, as if she liked the other party's embarrassed appearance. "Um... Master, is this really okay? Didn't you say before that the Black Sword specializes in hunting people like Master?"

The noble girl at the side looked at the instigator and asked cautiously. To be honest, she always felt a little unrealistic that they escaped from the black-haired young man so easily.

"Don't worry, since he didn't say anything, there must be no problem. A guy like him, although he is as powerful as a monster, but in a place like Paradise, it costs a lot to become a monster, especially in terms of money~!"

The instigator grinned and dug the hole in his forehead, looking confident. The noble girl nodded thoughtfully, but still asked with some doubt:

"But if that's the case, then we haven't accomplished anything and are just giving him money, right?"

"We can't help it. Violators are like this. Those monster pioneers just follow the arrangements of the paradise, kill people, set fires and collect money. But we violators have to consider a lot, such as when to escape, how to bribe, how much money to prepare for life each time, and how to make a profit afterwards... There are too many things to consider. It's exhausting!"

The instigator shrugged his shoulders, looked sad, and sighed. Then, he looked at the white cat lying on Sylvie's chest again, and asked bitterly:
"So, Cat, how's your tail?"

"Meow~!"

The white cat squinted its eyes, called softly, and its tail behind it shook slightly. The whole cat suddenly disappeared in front of the three people, and suddenly appeared on Sylvie's shoulder.

"Very good, in this way, the purpose of coming to this world this time has been perfectly achieved~!"

Seeing this, the instigator suddenly changed from sadness to joy and whistled happily. Finally, he turned his head and looked in the direction of the battlefield with a playful look in his eyes:
"Speaking of which, we should thank that performer. If he hadn't made such a big noise, it would have been difficult for us to cover up the cat and complete this 'theft'."

"Meow~!"

"Haha, Cat, do you think so too? I said he would get along well with us! It's a pity that I didn't add his contact information, otherwise I would like to treat him to a meal after returning to the park."

"Speaking of which, Master, is that person called the Performer really not dead?"

"Don't worry, don't worry~ Although I don't know what method he used, my intuition tells me that a guy like him will not die so easily at the hands of the black sword. Maybe we can see him again in the newspaper after we go back!"

When the instigator heard the noble girl's question, he grinned, waved his hand and replied.

"Speaking of which, our main mission isn't over yet, right? A-Dong, do you have a way to go back early? If we don't go back, the world will probably find out about our little move."

Sylvie looked at her own branding interface, seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly asked a question.

"Uh, well..."

When the instigator heard this, he looked at the others, then looked at his own luck attribute which was slowly declining. He blinked, lowered his head and thought for a while before saying seriously:
"At the current speed, it will take at least two hours for this world to notice our actions. Normally, Black Sword shouldn't take that long to return to Paradise, so theoretically we shouldn't encounter any problems."

"Then... Master, what if you encounter problems?"

"Well..."

The instigator said, looking at the dark clouds gradually gathering above his head. After thinking for two seconds, he took out a lightning rod from the storage space, looked at the few people, and asked:

"What do you think the success rate is if we use lightning rods to avoid boundary lightning?"

"..."

……

In the Hellsing world, on the Vatican battlefield.

"Lai Lai, is it really okay to let them run away like this?"

"It's too difficult to kill these guys together. If that's the case, it's better to extort some protection money from them and leave. Besides..."

As Xin Lailai spoke, he glanced at the line of prompts at the edge of his vision, and a hint of heat flashed in his eyes.

——The instigator is indeed too cunning.

There are four [Soul Crystal Secret Boxes (Complete)]. If one Soul Crystal (Complete) is equal to 500 million Paradise Points, then these four [Soul Crystal Secret Boxes (Complete)] are equivalent to 6000 million Paradise Points for him, which is equal to the income of his entire world.

Although he knew very well that the instigator was willing to give out such things not just to let him let them go, but also hoped that he could turn a blind eye to certain things they did, but to be honest, the price offered by the other party was indeed too sincere.

Moreover, considering that Paradise did not issue any warning to him, it means that what the instigator and his group planned will most likely not cause any extremely bad impact on the world, and will not directly endanger his life safety.

In this situation, compared to forcing one of the Nine Evil Cats or Sylvies to stay and risking the other party's complete hatred, it is obviously a better choice to let the other party go temporarily.

——Anyway, he still has a fatal weakness of the opponent in his hand. With that weakness, the instigator will basically be unable to do anything to him in the short term.

"Okay, now that all the other important matters have been dealt with, it's time to deal with some trivial matters."

"Well, first we have to kill Walter and collect enough World Origin, then we have to go to Berlin to examine the body of the arcane mage, and then come back to exchange it for the reputation store, right?"

"That's right. Just in case, I won't use my soul to travel this time, so as to avoid being hit by the instigators. I'll have to trouble you, Ling Yuzi, to use my body to travel all the way."

Xin Lailai nodded and communicated in his mind.

Although traveling in the physical body would cause them to be half a day late in returning to paradise, they were still in the Hellsing world after all, and the instigator and others were still living in some corner he didn't know about, so it was better to choose a safer approach.

In fact, if the deadline for this main quest was not less than two days, he would even want to stay for a while longer before leaving, just like in the Overlord world. After all, for them, time is something that can never be too little or too much.

"By the way, Lailai, I have another question..."

"what happened?"

"Um... have you seen the location of the camp store? I remember it was originally there, but now it seems to be gone..."

As Ling Yuzi spoke, he cast his gaze in a certain direction on the battlefield. Upon hearing this, Xin Lailai looked at the battlefield which had long since turned into a scorched earth. After staring for a few seconds, he fell into deep thought.

——Only then did he remember that the Vatican’s camp store was originally located within the Vatican.
